KnowledgeOperational factors that could affect an instrument takeoff (e.g., runway length, runway lighting, surface conditions, wind, wake turbulence, icing conditions, obstructions, available instrument approaches or alternate airports available) in the event of an emergency after takeoff.

- Chapter 6: Takeoffs and Departure Climbs › Prior to Takeoff
When operating from a towered airport, pilots need to contact the tower operator and receive a takeoff clearance before taxiing onto the active runway. Taking off immediately behind another aircraft, particularly a large and heavy transport airplane, creates the risk ... wake turbulence encounter, and a possible loss of control. However, if an immediate takeoff behind a large heavy aircraft is necessary, the pilot should plan to minimize the chances of flying through an aircraft’s wake turbulence by avoiding…
- Chapter 10: IFR Flight › Approaches › Instrument Approaches to Civil Airports
Instrument Approaches to Civil Airports Unless otherwise authorized, when an instrument letdown to an airport is necessary, the pilot should use a standard IAP prescribed for that airport. IAPs are depicted on IAP charts and are found ... approach procedures depend upon the facilities available at the terminal area, the type of instrument approach executed, and the existing weather conditions. The ATC facilities, NAVAIDs, and associated frequencies appropriate to each standard instrument approach are given on the approach…

INSTRUMENT FLIGHT RULES (IFR)- Rules governing the procedures for conducting instrument flight. Also a term used by pilots and controllers to indicate type of flight plan. (See INSTRUMENT METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS.) (See VISUAL FLIGHT RULES.) (See VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS.) (See ICAO ... term INSTRUMENT FLIGHT RULES.) (Refer to AIM.) INSTRUMENT FLIGHT RULES [ICAO]- A set of rules governing the conduct of flight under instrument meteorological conditions.

pilot not flying. Retarding a thrust lever would only be necessary in case an engine exceeds any limitation. Takeoff data, including V1/VR and V2 speeds, takeoff power settings, and required field length should be computed prior to each takeoff ... make and model without an FMS, the data should be recorded on a takeoff data card. This data is based on airplane weight, runway length available, runway gradient, field temperature, field barometric pressure, wind, icing conditions, and runway condition. Both…
- Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Takeoff and Landing Performance › Takeoff Performance
Figure 11-19 illustrates the general effect of wind by the percent change in takeoff or landing distance as a function of the ratio of wind velocity to takeoff or landing speed. The effect of proper takeoff speed is especially ... important when runway lengths and takeoff distances are critical. The takeoff speeds specified in the AFM/POH are generally the minimum safe speeds at which the aircraft can become airborne. Any attempt to take off below the recommended speed means that…
